Dover College's day and boarding pupils achieved another impressive set of GCSE results, echoing last week's performance at A level. 92% of the candidates secured A*-C passes in five or more GCSE subjects with 100% pass-rates in the following subjects : Art, Drama, French, History, ICT, Music, Physical Education, Science, Spanish and Textiles. The overall pass-rate of 82% is remarkable for a non-selective school, clearly adding on average an extra grade to those pupils who would have been expected to obtain less in the state sector.

Dover College's new headmaster, Gerry Holden commented : “These results are reflective of the hard work of these young people supported by my excellent new colleagues; their confident performance in the classroom is central to the all-round education which we offer at Dover College. I am looking forward to many of these students making a significant contribution to the life of our buoyant sixth form over the next two years”

Dover College is delighted to announce another set of record-breaking results, with 100% pass-rate at A level. With 47% of the candidates securing A*-B grades and 76% A*-C, these performances build on the on-going academic improvements of the last five years. In this period of anxiety about university places, it was pleasing to note that most candidates have secured a place.

Gerry Holden congratulates Giulio Pesenti for his great A level results
